Our Story

Like all great companies, 712 Creative was born to help people… For us, it was a passionate copywriter looking to help small business owners communicate their value proposition.

Along the way, we discovered that the secret to great, clear, purposeful copy is to have a clear and purposeful brand. Working with clients all over the world and across all industries we’ve experimented, we’ve learned, and we’ve grown. We built frameworks, tore them down, and built them again. Until we had something that worked.

But we haven’t arrived. We constantly challenge our ideas and approaches because we want to bring the best to the table.

But all of this … is just a small prologue of our story. The rest of the story is about you and what you want to bring to the world. We are honored and excited to be a part of your work.

Creating a brand is a process made of asking questions, taking shots and making decisions. It’s about giving voice to your purpose and mission… Finding your core and sharing it with the world is both invigorating and vulnerable.

In the end, your voice should resonate with your customer without losing its authenticity and purpose.

We help you toe the line.

Let’s write your story together.

Our Mission: Creating Brands That Matter

You started your business to help people. Whether you built a helpful app, sell handmade products, offer IT services or clean gutters – you want to reach the right people and tell them about your offering.

You know there are wonderful people out there who would LOVE to work with you. But how do you find them, convey your value and turn them into customers? That’s where we come in. We help you become a brand that says something meaningful. A brand that matters.

WHY?

Because you matter to us.

And your customers matter to us.

Our gratification comes from helping you build a business that will provide for your family and if you have employees – their families.

It comes from connecting you with your customers, so they can benefit from your product or service and better their lives.

Lastly, it comes from looking at a job well done. Because, hey, we take pride in our work…

So what’s your mission? We’d love to help you make your dream a reality so you can start serving your tribe.

What We Believe

Every brand needs a set of values // philosophy // beliefs… No matter what you choose to call them, you need operating principles that go beyond “customer service” and “integrity”.

Here are ours…

STRATEGY FIRST

While businesses should be agile, brand strategy comes first. Our goal is to save our clients tons of money they would have wasted trying to brand, and rebrand, and rebrand, without any clarity or direction.

MEANING BEFORE VISUALS

Your message is the foundation of your brand. Before you design a logo, create packaging, put together sales presentations, or build a website, you need to articulate your purpose and value.

EVOLUTION IS A MUST

Brands are not meant to stay the same forever. We believe it’s important to be intentional about iterating your brand message and appearance to reflect its authentic state.
